AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Lighter Fre,rht Traftic with Most Lines.

A Lighter Freight Traffic with Most Lines
In the week ending Dec. "a there
ceived and forwarded at this point total OF
20 $50 cars of which number l6 Ais were loaded
cars. This is 407 fewer than were
received and forwarded in the week
ending Dec. II aud 1.244 fewer loaded
ears than were handled in the corresponding
week 1885. AS compared with the correspond
ing week 1886 a gain OF 3f7 loaded cars is
shown. The decrease was Quite general among
the lines, the c.. l.. st. l. 6 c. and the Bee
line being the only roads which moved more
cars last week than in the week preceding.
Eastward there has been marked decrease in
shipments of export freiehts and a lighter
movement OF live stock and lumber. Shipments
of grain to interior points of New York and
New England were a tride heavier last week
than in the week ending the 18th. Westward
the tonnage averaged well with that Of either OF
proceeding weeks of the month, but falls con-
siderably below that of October and November.
The west bound shipments of anthracite Goals
are now the largest at any time in the last ten
months. North-and-south roads doing but
little through business, but their local traffic
continues to be unusually large for December
Local traffic seldom better There is large
tonnage of Indiana Goals moving, and the ship
ments of grain from one station to another IN In
diana and Illinois heavier than they were ever
before known to be. The livestock movement
has dropped off considerably the last few days.
and it is thought that large per cent of this
class of freights has been moved SO far as Indi-

which are now slaughtered will to be
brought greater distance. At the city depot it
was a very busy week, so large were the ship

Name of Road.



It is quite evident that the Pullman Sleeping
car Company is not to have smooth sailing in
the future as it has had in the past. Railroad
Commissioners Of the different States, the Pa
cifc coast press, the general managers of many
of the important lines, ore demanding reduction
in their rates and more lberality in their
commodations. The San Francisco Chronicle
says: THE day for exorbitant rates has passed,
and the Pullman company should be willing to
do its share in inducing increased travel and
cultivating the nomadic dispos ition of the Amer
lean people by means of which transportation
companies and their allies exist" In another
direction the Railroad Commissioners Of Mime
sofa have demanded that the Pullman company
on the cars they run in that State shall give
passenger full section, whether he pays for IL
not, il the upper berth is unoccupied. If
there is demand for oerths above that which
the lower bertbs will furnish, the occupant of
the lower berth must expect the annoyance of
having the upper berth lowered and make the
best of the situation. 1t is evident that the
sleepiugcar companies lose money in
tending TO their past patrons fair amount of
civilty in this direction. The Woodruff
pspy acts very honorably IN this matter; their
porters instructed TO leave the upper berths
unopened unless the demand for berths exceeds
the number of lower bertns and in lower
berth is occupied by lady all other upper
,berths should be used before she is annoyed.

A. B. Guptill and How He Came to
be Elected Municipal Judge.

A. B. Guptili was among the guests
at the Merchants yesterday. Mr.. Cup
till halls from Fargo, OAK, and pos
sesses the face and general makeup of
first class tragedian, though he lays no
claim to historionic ability. Four years
ago Guptill was candidate for munich
pal Judge of Fargo on the Republican
ticket, and he was aware that nothing
short of a miracle would pull him
through, He hnew he couldn't canvass
hard enough to overcome the Demo-
cratic majority in the town and he set
himself about connecting some scheme
whereby he might scoop his adversary.
Billy 0'Neill and his brother Jerry
were the men fighting him, and Guptiil
knew their weakness for good up and
up dog fight, so he concluded
to get up fight of this
twenty miles down the Red river on
election day. He sent to st. Paul and
got two bull dogs, and they were
brought to Fargo. He then hired two
men who were strangers in the town to
talk dog fight through the papers, and
Maj. Edwards, being in with the deal,
threw the columns of the Argus open
to the men, and they praised the fight
ing qualities of their dogs until all the
sports in town were wild over the pros
poets Of meeting between the CANNES.
At last everything was ripe and the
fight was arranged and the hour fixed
on the morning of election day. Billy
and Jerry 0'Neill, confident that there
were Democrats in the town to wipe the
earth with Guptill, went to the fight,
and their example was followed by
about 250 others According to pre-
arrangement between Guptill
AND HIS HIRED MEN,
they didn't show UP with the dogs until
late in the afternoon. But the men
waited and the dogs faced each other.
The O'NeillS and the others stood
around and tossed their hats wildly in
the air while they watched the fur fly,
forgetting all about the election in the
town twenty miles up the river. The
fight was an interesting one, and it was
6 o'clock in the evening when the gang
drove into Fargo. The ballot boxes
closed at O'Clock, and when the count
was finished it was discovered that Cup
till was elected by about 125 majority.
1t was six months after that that Cup
till's connection with the dog fight was
made known. He served the full term of
the Office and then resumed the practice
of law in which business he is at present
engaged. Mr.. Guptill was here OH
private business. He says the in
demnity lands question in Dakota is
creating considerable excitement and
lawyers are profting by it,. 1t seems
that when the project of building the
Northern Pacific railroad was conceived
the company was granted right of way
eighty miles wide with the understand
ing that if any part of this land was
used by the government in establishing
military posts or in laying Out. Indfanre-

The Washburn Trophy.

In the west show window of Myers s.
Carpenter, the jewelers., on Bridge
square, may be seen the beautiful
trophy to be presented by Hon. W. d.
Washburn to the winning team in the
international rifle shooting match. 1t
represents an Indian on horseback
spearing buffalo and is the original
OF the large statue in ice which stood on
Bridge square during the first carnival.
The figures are remarkably life-like and
very interesting. The statue is of silver
bronze, mounted ON an ebony pedestal,
on the front of which is an engraved
silver plate bearing the inscription.
''Washburn Trophy, presented by w!
d. Washburn for Interstate Military
Rife Shooting by teams of twelve, 1875
On either side of the plate are five small
silver shields, probably intended for the
names of the winners. 1t is valued at $500.
The trophy is greatly admired by hum
dreds of people who linger in front of
the window. Messrs. Myers & Carpen-
ter have shown eommendable enterprise
in securing it for exhibition.

The Financial End of the State
Fair Not Yet Settled Tn.

The auditing board of the State Agri-

Merchants yesterday, and it was 1920
last night before it adjourned. There
were present President Merriam, Secre-
tary II. Ii. Hoard, Treasurer Wilcox, J.
n. Cooper and A. n. Johnson. The en-
tire session was occupied in auditing
and allowing bills. When asked what
the entire expense would be, President
Merriam said: II cannot tell you, but
goodness knows it will be large enough.
Nearly all the bills are now IN, and they
are being paid as fast as audited"
"Then you cannot tell what
the financial result of the fair will be?"
''No, L can not tell you even ap-
proXimately. The expenses are large
and all the bills are not in yet. We have
not had single report from any of the
railroads, and probably will not before
the latter part of this month There are
lots of stations to hear from, and it takes
the companies long time to make their
reports. When we get these we can
tell something about how we stand. The
reports of profits already published were

then be obliged to contradict them, for

about it. l am sorry can't give you
